About PCRE

2020 was a big year for PCRE Real Estate & Auction, Inc! On January 1, Chris Nichols and Cyndi Borrowman took over ownership of the company with great aspirations of what the company could become. It took 8 months to transform those dreams and ideas into reality. On July 31, 2020, Pike County Real Estate, Inc became PCRE Real Estate & Auction, Inc. Why the change? Simply put, we had outgrown our “Pike County” only image. Pike County Real Estate had opened up a 2nd office in Hardin, IL located in Calhoun County in July of 2017. 3 years later, we now have listings from Pike, Calhoun, Jersey, Greene, Schulyer, Brown, Adams, & Madison Counties! And, we are growing!

Chris came to us from upstate New York. He grew up an avid outdoorsman and student of whitetail deer and quality deer management. His interest in that field led him to Mississippi State University in 2003, where he served under a graduate student on a vegetation study, and later became a videographer and editor at Mossy Oak Productions in West Point, MS. His 2 years at Mossy Oak allowed him the opportunity as a young man to travel North America and make a lifetime’s worth of contacts & connections, that ultimately led him to the whitetail capital of the world, Pike County, Illinois. In 2008, he became an owner and partner at Pike County Real Estate, Inc. where he specialized in selling hunting land and homes all throughout the surrounding area. He has developed a book of business full of buyers and sellers of some of the country’s finest deer hunting properties, many of which have become not only fantastic clients, but great friends as well.

In 2013, Cyndi and her family moved to Calhoun County! She decided to get into real estate in 2015 and has never looked back!!
